• The Seneca Falls Declaration is similar to the Declaration of Independence in that it begins by stating the basic rights for people. This time, however, the words are targeted specifically at women. It even uses exact words from the original Declaration, twisting them to apply directly to women. From there, the grievances of women are listed, such as the inability for women to vote, unequal education and career opportunities, unequal wages, and many others. Following this, resolutions to these grievances are stated, and the notion that women should indeed have equal rights with men is reaffirmed.
